What should I pay attention to when harvesting citrus fruits?

Check the maturity of fruit regularly before it ripens. At the same time, prepare fruit scissors, fruit bags, fruit ladders, fruit baskets and transportation tools. Fruit scissors should be smooth and round, with springs, sharp edges and good stitches. Pruning scissors should not be used to avoid stabbing the fruit and making the fruit handle too long. The fruit picking bag is sewn with canvas or coarse cloth. A ladder made of wood or aluminum alloy. Fruit picking baskets can be bamboo baskets or plastic baskets. Each can hold 25 kilograms of fruit, and the inner surface of the basket should be smooth and clean. (2) correct harvesting.

Weak trees and high-yield trees are picked first in one garden, and the lower fruits are picked first and then the upper fruits are picked, and the outer fruits are picked first and then the inner fruits are picked, and the fruits are harvested in stages after maturity. When harvesting, a fruit uses two scissors. Cut off the fruit stem 1 ~ 4cm fruit branches for the first time. Don't pull or break the pedicel with hard scissors, which will damage the vascular bundle of the core and affect the storage resistance. The second incision is near the calyx, the fruit stalk is cut off and the sepals are intact. The harvested fruit should be handled carefully, and don't throw it around or cut it to the ground before picking it up. Picked fruits can be primarily selected in the orchard, and deformed fruits, diseased fruits and newly damaged fruits can be eliminated. And then transported to the packaging yard for classified packaging. (3) Precautions for fruit picking.

Before 10 fruit is harvested, the orchard will stop irrigation. Choose sunny or cloudy days to pick fruits. Don't pick fruits in rainy days, foggy days, or when the dew on the fruit surface is wet. Pick fruits every 3-5 days after rain. Fruit pickers should avoid drinking alcohol, so as to avoid the influence of ethanol on fruits and make them difficult to store and transport. People who pick fruit should cut their nails and wear gloves to avoid scratching the fruit with their nails and keep the surface of the fruit clean. The harvested fruits should not be exposed to the sun, nor should they be piled up in the open air for the night.
